THE KtNOrXM OP ' SLENDER SWORDS, by Hallle Erminle, Rives. 434 pp.; 11.50; Bobbe-'Merrlll company. The scene of this story Is laid In Japan and whichever side one's sympathies were on In the Russo-Japanese war, we must all agree that brave, blossomx, little Japan Is a country of extraordinary Interest and ex traordinary charm. Of all this charm and beauty the author, whose husband Is attached to the American embassy at Tokyo, writes from a full heart. She has Inhaled the fragrance of the lotus flower, and is content to remain In lotus land. So broadly inclusive are the pic tures that she has drawn and colored of Japan and the Japanese that one feels the book may easily find large numbers of readers for Its scenic descriptions. But excellently done as the story Is from this Important point of vlow. It Is still first and foremost a story. It Is a story of love, of . endeavor, of sacrifice, of triumph. Barbara Randolph, from Vir ginia, is the, leading lady, but little Haru, her maid, whose name means spring, who wears a. butterfly In her hair, speaks with delightful qualntness, and lives in the street "Praytr-to-the-Gods," Is the heroine. In her silent devotion, her humiliation, her final abnegation, we see exemplified the wonderful reverence for country that is to be seen nowhere else In the world. The plot Is big, and It moves logically through a succession of situations of close dramatic sequence. THE UPGRADE, by Wilder Goodwin. 321 pp.; $1.50; Little, Brown & Company.

Vigorous story that pulsates with life. THE PRIDE OF THE RANCHO. By Henry E. Smith. 190 pp., $1.00; J. S. Ogll yie Publishing company. This novel Is founded on the play of the same name.' The scene is laid in the west, where two college men have gone in quest of health,' and found it. It shows two manly unselfish characters. The author, himself thoroughly familiar through personal ac quaintance with the Indian character, en deavors to show that the world-at-Iarge Is in error in looking upon the American Indian, an It often does, only In the light or a savage. 1 He declares that . most of the Indians, If fairly treated, have good honest hearts like other good white men. A pretty romance, is woven into the nar rative, portraying the personal charms and clever attractiveness of the western girl, even though the daughter of a ranch man. Miscellaneous. SCIENTIFIC LIVING FOR PROLONG ING THE TERM OF HUMAN LIFE. By Laura Ntleton Brown. 284 pp.; $1.00; The Health-Culture company. A great truth is emphasized In this book, namely, that In the ordinary processes of cooking tho organic elements become inor ganic and food 'values are destroyed. This dietetic idea Is most Important, and It Is claimed by the author that when generally known and made practical It will restore the racial vigor as nothing else can, free woman from the slavery of the cook stove and become a large factor In the solution of the servant . problem. The author enters Into the practical de monstration of the new way; food tables, recipes and menus are numerous and en lightening and will prove exceedingly help ful not only to busy housekeepers, but also to all persons who desire to get the greatest benefit and fullest enjoyment from the dally meals. A. most Interesting and 'practical fea ture of this work Is the clear and dis criminating Instructions given for the ap plication of heat in preparing food. From the author's point of view It becomes evi dent that the present mode of preparing food is not only unnecessarily laborious, but that It Involve great waste of the raw material and puts a severe tax upon the digestive organs of the consumer. The best thing about the new way to 1 many minds, however, will be that it greatly en hances the appetizing qualities of the viands. It treats of the chemistry of food In a way that In easily understood and made practical. The concluding chapter of the book deals with "Associate Influences" and gives sound advice upon other health factors than diet. SOCIAL FORCES. By' Edward T.

Schneider was giving voice to his ideas In the presence of three young women em ployed in the city hall, who shall here re main nameless, when the girls took up his suggestion with approval and proceeded to put down their views concerning pros pective husbands. Following are the views on the kind of husband they would like, as written by themselves: Number 1. My husband must be able to build the fires, but he must not dictate how I do my work. He must be able to sup port me well, and must treat me with the same respect he would any other woman. He must be able to stay at home at least one evening a week, and must not chew to bacco, and must be a thorough man, not a sissy (with "not" underscorad.) Number 2 My husband must be at least 6 feet, .11 Inches, with broad shoulders and well built. He should have blue eyes, dark hair, slightly tinged with gray. He must be a man that makes an honest living, and make enough to keep a wife comfortably. I He also must be of an affectionate nature. and must not be a ' cheap sKate.' Number S The ideal man for me ought to be of medium height and well built, have dark eyes and hair; do not object to a gray tinge. He must be able to make a good living, and should have an affec tionate disposition, and be fairly liberal In his ideas of the cost of keeping up a home. Two of the girls are of Irish-American stock, while the name of the other would Beem to indicate that her paternal ances tors were French. They ere held in high esteem as to character and accomplish ments, and Mr. Schneider believes they would mage most excellent wives. He will endeavor to bring them Into touch with l men needing wives who measure up to the qualifications set forth in their descriptions.
